I was awake today in my stats class and I feel as though I have more than a glimmer of hope of passing the class. Hooray!

In my Econ class, Mr W was trying to do stand up as usual and failing miserably. He decided to try to flatter us...

"Wow, you guys are stars of Economics already! They should have a reality show about us. Yeah I'm sure that'd go over..." he paused and of course, being the smartass I am I interjected.

"Like a lead balloon."

I thought my comment might go unnoticed as I am in the back of the class. But no. Of course not. W picked up on it immediately and decided to play off what I was saying in his incredibly lame way.

"Oh yeah. Just like how Led Zeppelin got thier name, right M? Why don't you tell the story of how they got thier name?"

I was mortified at the thought of playing along with his little routine.

"No no no. Why don't you tell it, Mr. W."

It would be more your era afterall, I wanted to say.

So he rambles on and on, pausing for laughter and gets none. This man has no comedic timing and is simply just clueless. He isn't paid for his jokes and I don't understand why I am forced to listen to them.

... Is highschool over yet?
